2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:

Fall in the Midwest. I must say, fall in Florida is one of the most disappointing things. Maybe next fall we can sneak in a quick trip somewhere in the fall. It's just unless we let the kids skip school, but the older they're getting, the hard that is!

3: WHAT I’M LOVING:
Volleyball season is back! :)
{to be clear, I don't love VB more than FB, I just love that it's climate controlled!}

4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:

Taking kids to practices -- Football & Volleyball season are back again!
Fantasy Football as a family has been fun too {except that I lost this week!}
Celebrating Adam's 45th Birthday!! {at 10p, sigh}

5: WHAT I’M DREADING:
Submitting our application to the HOA. Whyyyy do they always make it so intimidating/inconvenient? We're doing 3 mini projects {landscaping, driveway extension, & curbing} and I'm hesitant to put it on one application because I don't want them to deny something and then I have to resubmit the entire thing for approval again {with another application fee of course}. Coming from a small town, and then a private lake, it all just makes me roll my eyes.

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
Booking vacations!! , this puzzle, & on my September Goals!
I've seriously taken ONE walk so far {yikes}

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:

Our pool pump working. Not super exciting to any of you, but I'm thrilled! Our pool guy came for our weekly service last week and asked about our pump because it wasn't running. This week he brought a new fuse and changed it out and BOOM it started working again. When you're expecting to be purchasing a new pool pump, this is pretty exciting news! ;)

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:

Adam made us a stack of Belly's Birthday Pancakes and J & I finished J and I TSITP

I read these Just for the Summer, The Business Trip, One Perfect Couple, Atmosphere, All the Other Mother's Hate Me, & Playing Hard to Get

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:

The Dave Ramsey Podcast
{It helps me keep focused on saving instead of spending, plus I love a good debt free story!}

10: WHAT I’M WEARING:

These shoes & this watch band

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
Not a ton -- Friday night is FREE, Saturday Cullyn plays football, and Sunday we'll go to church and watch Football.
